I apologize if this is in the wrong place. But I figured this would be the best place since we have a lot of themers that use photoshop and Gimp.
I decided to start creating my own wallpapers with Gimp. I'm setting my image to a 960x800. However, when I try and set with multipicture live wallpaper on my phone, it cuts it off on the left side when set to 'show full screen' and shortens too much when set to 'show whole image'
I'll attach screens to better illustrate.
So exactly what dimensions do I need to set when using Gimp to make my wallpapers work with my phone screens.
I have a 4.3" screen with ADW ex as the launcher.

Ideally, it should be showing up like the right hand picture but with the home/media/tools text on the left.
Dont know if this will help but this is what i do when I use Multiwall.
I usually use 3 screens on my phone so I make a wallpaper 1440x800 since my res is 480x800 .
I Then crop my wallpaper into Three 480x800 pieces . Then when i get into Multi wall I set it up for the 3 screens and put one on each screen and I dont lose anything .
Hope this helps
Have you tried Super Wall Lite ? That might be an easier option, not too familiar with it though.
I'll check out superwall.
I typically only use 3 screens myself. I have my main screen, a calendar screen, and then a miscellaneous screen. I use folders and shortcuts a lot.
Thanks given!

Hello folks... today I have for you a small theme and a fitting dialer.
While the theme isn't working well on landscape (I'll do it later), the dialer works both on portrait and landscape - it even works properly on square displays.
Have fun!

wow what a great theme...thnx Utak3r
Thanks. You can download also my theme for BatteryStatus (you can see it in action on this screenshot). It's here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1634471&postcount=2771
This theme reminds me of Ubuntu Linux
Keep up the good work, but pardon me for having a different taste. I only like chocolate brown when I can eat it, not on my today screen.
But can you tell us what the visible today screen plugins are, besides BatteryStatus?
thanks
I like the look of this. Many thanks for your efforts.
Keep up the good work.

Just tried both items; excellent. 2 questions:
- have you thought about having another view option within the dialer to switch off the contacts window entirely?
- noticed as well that whatever view option one selects, as soon as you close the dialer down and reopen it defaults straight back to the "calls & contacts" view option. You might want to fix this so that whatever view option is chosen remains until manually changed over again.
- also have you thought of creating a dialer with a video option within it, so that its universal and can run on, say, a hermes/TyTN?
Cheers

My name is Susi and I am from Germany.
I have been involved in the last week with the design of my new phone and I come across this forum.
Of course, on hdwall.
Now, I have the following problem:
Here is a picture of my current display:

To 1: my little pictures are cut off below! Why?
To 2: it shows the old pop-up pictures! Why?
No one can help me?
hi susi...im pretty new to this also but i can give you a few pointers to look for i think. first of all with your icons there are 3 different icons sets in manilla you must change. you have got the non active icons changed to your horses, then there is an icon set for active (when you press the icon) you must change. then there is the large icon set for when you hold the slider icon and it appears in the middle of your screen. as for the cutting off of your icons i think you need to make your bottom curtain transparent and that will show them fully. i have yet to be able to change my icons yet, but for the curtain I use Max TF3D Theme Maker v4.1. searchfor this in the blackstone forum. there is a tutorial on how to use it in maxcys thread. I hope this help you some. good luck.
edit: on second look the reason your icon are being cut off may be because they are too big. I think the non active set can only be 64x64.....someone please correct me if i am leading susi astray.
Thanks rdub4nd,
my pictures are in the specified size 64px + 128px
the little once are even smaller only 48px
i choose all the pictures with HDWall an than i create the cab.
exactly as prescribed.
than i copy the cab in my phone, start it and it will be correctly installed.
but it´s dosn´t correctly, see my screen
I do not know where my mistake is and I'm unhappy
EDIT: in which folder I should copy the manila files?
Hi there,
i already tried to search for a solution but if there is a help i cant make up the right phrases to find it. So i got ADW and Simple Text App. I wanted to get the Bottom with a continious background and with the entire bottom like this -->> [i.imgur.com/Tg6Hk.png]
But instead i get a floating Square not reaching the top/bot/left or right side. -->> [mytoby.de/pics/screenshot.png]
i already maxed the size of the action icons (10) as well as the max icons (5) and thats all i can find. i dont have the full bot or a continious backgroud. if i enable the background its more like surrounding tube around the icons but not the full bottom. I hope i didnt started a new Thread on an already answered topic so pls dont punish me i really tried to find it myself
I hope you can help me or direct me to a solution.
Still need Help with this Problem

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
have you tried launcherpro..it could be that, not ADW or Go Launcher?
It's a dock. You upload the .png file and it's in the background for the launcher. It's like the ones with the faux-iphone docks.
So the Icon has to be text only and then a black dock with modified alpha. I give that a try. But i think i will end up with a tiny text. Will add the Result.
Edit: I tried it with all launchers at the beginning.
So i tried that with LauncherPro and everything. So it looks like what i want but now you can see the scaling issue i wasnt able to clearly express I use 2.3 and there was a new resolution introduced but do all devs use then 2.2 or can i scale it to make it bigger?

As you might or might not be aware the new update also brings updated photo editor to Jelly Bean.
I have been experimenting with it and found out a few things which I think Might be useful to some.
This is first time I've tried making a tricks thread so don't be mean
Show Original File VS Effect
Swipe on the image from any side Top->Bottom, Bottom->Top, Left-> Right and finally Right->Left.

}
Use Boxes to change settings of "Tool".
For some it might be a easy spot of the Menus, but they aren't labelled very well.
Get more points on the Curves.
When you start off it by default gives you only 2 points to manipulate, you can get more points by first dragging the dots on the screen and then starting on the edge of grid dragging the line in. You can manipulate single layers; Red, Blue, Green and by default RGB (all of them).
Quickly Access the History and make changes or Reset.
Swipe from Right to Left, preferably off image for best results due to the "Original Image Preview". Can also be accessed from Menu in top right. It shows Newest edits on top and oldest on the bottom, Resetting removes all the changes.
More Suggestions are welcome, please note that it just came out today (14th November 2012) and more updates might come and more features might be discovered anytime!
*I own full right to the picture being edited, I've got entire library of forest pictures most probably better than those. If you want some for wallpaper or other purpose please let me know.

please help guys.
z3c is my first smartphone. hahaha. so noob with this.
Settings > Personalisation > Lock Screen. There you can crop the photo, to look the exact same, if the resolution is high enough. From your screens it looks like it was cropped too much.
Problem with the xperia homescreen is that you have to have scrollable wallpaper and the album app always zooms it in even if the resoIution is good. I don't know why.
So your picture that you want to use as wallpaper has to be much larger than 720x1280 resolution in order to preserve quality when you use sony album app.
My solution is to use quickpic app instead of album and use it to set wallpaper. That way you just have to be sure that your picture is of 1280 pixels height (or larger) and that way it will be perfect fit for the homescreen.
But if the picture is vertical, like for using with single homescreen it will be zoomed even with quickpic. In that case I think you have to use different launcher that allowa non-scrollable wallpapers.
I recommend using pictures of 2048x1280 resolution in combination with quickpic. They're perfect as scrollable wallpapers.
I hope this helps.
hi guys. i found a way to fix the problem. i attached the photo to a much larger file that. then just cropped it with quickpic or album. not sure about this.
just needs a little tweaking with the cropping and positioning.
thanks for the help guys.
